Olinking to section does not provide section number

[Erik Rask]

When I use an olink to a chapter, I get the labelnumber element correctly represented. When I olink to a section, I do not, and I get the message "Request for label of unexpected element: olink". I've tried setting the xrefstyle with both "template:%n %t" and "select:labelnumber title" to no avail.

Is there a parameter I'm missing here, or is xsltproc not able to deduce labelnumber from section?

I actually solved it myself, sorry to have disturbed. The solution,
if anyone has run into the same issue, is below.

Turns out that I was using the stock XSL to collect xrefs and write the target db file,
since I had that copy pasted from http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Olinking.html,
but I use a customization layer to write output, which has section.autolabel set to 1.

Using the customization layer also for the xref collection/targetdb writing step fixed it.
